Iron Capsules

For a physically fit body. Iron is particularly important, as it is part of haemoglobin, which provides red blood cells (erythrocytes) with their colour and transports the inhaled oxygen from the lungs to all cells of the body via the blood circulation. Endurance and high-performance sportspeople require iron for sufficient transportation of oxygen within the body. Iron also contributes towards the normal metabolic energy rate and the reduction of fatigue. Vitamin C supports the absorption of iron and contributes towards protection of the cells against oxidative stress. Each capsule contains 60 mg vitamin C and 10 mg iron

One of the key pre-requisites for good health is a vigorous, active immune system. If the body is lacking in specific nutrients, the immune system cannot fulfil its protective and defensive functions properly. Immune Complex Capsules contain a selected combination of vitamins and trace elements, whose importance for a healthy, active immune system has been confirmed by the European Food Safety Authority: Iron, selenium, zinc, folate, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C and vitamin D3 all contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system. Folate, iron, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B2, vitamin B12, vitamin B6 and vitamin C all help to reduce tiredness and exhaustion.

The hawthorn (Crataegus) is native to the northern regions of Europe. Alongside paths and hedgerows, it can be recognised from May to June by its lush, white flourish of blossom and, later on, by its shiny red fruit. Together with the petals, the sharp thorns spread along the branches give the plant its name. The most important contents of hawthorn leaves are flavonoids, which belong to the secondary plant substances. We have added iron and folic acid (folate). The following effects are scientifically confirmed: Iron and folate contribute towards the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Iron supports a normal energy metabolism and the transport of oxygen in the body. Folic acid has function in cell division and contributes towards normal production of blood.

Vitamin E is one of the fat-soluble vitamins our body needs but cannot produce itself. It therefore relies on sufficient supply through nutrition. As recently confirmed by the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) vitamin E as an anti-oxidant makes a contribution towards protecting the cells against oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can be caused by smoking, increased UV radiation or other environmental influences. Each Vitamin E 200 I.U. capsule contains 134 mg natural Vitamin E., corresponding with 200 International Units (I.U.).
